"Wonderful, Peaceful a home from home"

Left on 05/10/2012 for a stay in April 2012 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed May 10, 2012Stayed Apr 2012

We had a wonderful family holiday at this cottage. Everything one could think of was supplied. Our every need was met. It is the first time we experienced a house that thought of supplying so much even a food mixer and slow cooker.
Our extended family want to go back every year. I am booking again for next year.

"Amazing Relaxing Holiday Home"

Left on 04/23/2010 for a stay in September 2009 | DonoughReviewed Apr 23, 2010Stayed Sep 2009

This is a great house to stay in while exploring
South Kerry, or just enjoying the locale. Plenty of
space, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two
living rooms! We had great weather during our stay
and enjoyed barbecuing in the garden. The owners are
very pleasant to deal with, and the house is very
well appointed. On the few days where the weather
wasn't great we used the x-box, DVD player and
numerous games that the owners make available for
your use. The house is walking distance from the
marvellous Ballinskelligs beach, and all the local
amenities, including Cill Rialig arts center.

"Sea, scenery and Jamesons!"

Left on 04/22/2010 for a stay in November 2009 | ElaineReviewed Apr 22, 2010Stayed Nov 2009

My husband & I truly enjoyed our Irish adventure, the cottage is in a supuerb location overlooking the sea and Ballinskelligs bay, the views were breathtaking. The cottage was well equipped, had all the amentities needed and felt very much like home. Leesha, whom we rented the cottage from was very organised, efficient and answered all of our questions with speed. There was so much to see and do around the area and we found that the ring of Kerry really did live up to name of being one of the most scenic places to visit in the world. I would always recomend visiting Ireland and if you are going to do it, then this would be the best place to start!

"Heavenly Vacation"

Left on 04/22/2010 for a stay in September 2009 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Apr 22, 2010Stayed Sep 2009

We had a wonderful vacation in this great home. It truly was a home from home as everything was supplied more than the usual - above and beyond what we needed. We enjoyed the great golfing which was just a short drive from a number of courses. Even though the cooking facilities were excellent we enjoyed several of the magnificent restaurants in the area. We will be back and have told friends about this home from home.
Extremely relaxing, and the view from all the rooms overlooking the Atlantic cannot be beaten,especially if you enjoy curling up and reading. There is lots of space and nothing is missing. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with all the pots, spices,oils etc that you would need and we wanted for nothing.

We cannot recommend this property highly enough, and will definitely be back again.

"Simply Stunning and Spectacular"

Left on 04/06/2010 for a stay in June 2009 | Peter BarnesReviewed Apr 6, 2010Stayed Jun 2009

Stunning and spectacular are the first two words
that spring to mind when I think back to our stay
in this fantastic property. The views are simply
breathtaking from every window in the house. One of
the greatest pleasures was waking up and looking
out at the amazing scenery from the comfort of the
bed, with the same view available in each of the
four bedrooms. Indeed, there was nothing more pleasurable than having a glass of wine on the
upstairs balcony and watching the sunset over the
islands. The kids loved the place as there was
about 1/2 an acre of garden to play in. We were
only a couple of hundred yards walk from the beach
where we hired out sea kayaks and also did a bit of
wind surfing. The local gastro pub overlooking the
beach is very child friendly and serves great food
while the Cill Rillig arts centre is even closer
still and offers coffees/lunches all served,
incredibly, by a Michelin star chef. We recommended
this place to friends who are booked to go down in
August and we're looking forward to returning ourselves next year as it was a very memorable
holiday for the whole family.
